MEATBALLS STROGANOFF
Stroganoff actually has a French connection going back to the 19th century. Aristocratic Russians of the time had commercial and cultural ties with France, and many upper-class Russians employed French cooks, who were always looking for ways to give French dishes a Russian twist. One of the most prominent families of the time was the Stroganoffs, who spent much time in Paris and had developed a love for French cuisine. Beef stroganoff is believed to have been created when the family chef added some sour cream, a Russian staple, to what was essentially a beef dish in a classic French mustard sauce. Here, Mr. Franey substitutes meatballs for the steak. The results are slightly lighter than the classic dish but full of flavor.

Steps:
- Place the meat in a mixing bowl, and add the egg. In a smaller bowl, mix the bread crumbs, 1/4 cup of yogurt and grated onion. Add this to the meat mixture. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix well with your hands, but do not overmix.
- Shape the mixture into balls about 1 1/3 inches in diameter. There should be about 32 meatballs.
- Sprinkle a pan with paprika and roll the meatballs, turning gently to coat well.
- Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet and cook the meatballs, turning gently and shaking the pan until they are nicely browned. Scatter the mushrooms, chopped onions and garlic around the meatballs. Shake the skillet to distribute the ingredients evenly. Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes. Shake the skillet a few times.
- In a small bowl, mix the sherry and tomato paste. Blend well. Add to the skillet, cover and simmer for 10 minutes, shaking often.
- Stir in the remaining yogurt and bring to just a simmer. Do not overboil. Check the seasoning, sprinkle with parsley and serve piping hot with buttered fine noodles.
